Hello log4j-user, Here is my first shot of a patch for enabling more "accessible" filtering in LF5.
What it does: The patch makes it possible to filter on message, ndc, thread and category by simply entering the filter in the added "control panel" in the left corner. (very much like the functionallity in Chainsaw) What I have added: DefaultLogRecordFilter - A class that contains the text string for performing the match. FilterPanel - A panel which enable you to enter the filters. What I have removed: The Sort by NDC menuitem. It overlapped with the functionallity provided in this patch. What I have changed: The filter on the FilteredTableModel was always changed/reset whenever LF5 activated/deactivated the filtering for NDC - thus it was rather cumbersome to have a single point of entry for changing the active filter. This was altered so LogBrokerMonitor keeps a reference to the DefaultLogRecordFilter that it uses in the tablemodel. This reference is then passed on to to the relevant parts of the application, thus the filter is reused instead of recreated/destroyed for each change. I might suggest extending the filter mechanism to a chain of filters instead of the "mono"-filtering there is now - but hey, it works now :) Other stuff: The requirement of having af lf5.properties file has been removed, as it is not included in the lf5 directory and it did not seem to have any function. TODO: - make it possible to save the filters. - filter on throwable and location text also. Note: the possibility for saving the NDC text in LF5 configuration is kept as is and will still be saved/loaded. Things that I noticed: The code in Chainsaw and LF5 look VERY much alike, just with different names :) The performance of LF5 is not optimal when one enable and disables categories in the CategoryExplorerTree (not compared to Lumbermill) ...and more - but I do not have the time right now to tell...so try this patch and tell me what you think :) -- Best regards, Max ACURE, Software Engineer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WHO'S AT JAOO? - http://www.jaoo.dk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ACURE, Margrethepladsen 3, 8000 Århus C, Denmark Tel: +45 8732 8787 / Fax: +45 8732 8788 / Mob: +45 4072 8483
